Jabberwocky (1977)
6/10
Inferior to it's elder Holy Grail
23 November 2002
I saw this on DVD and think in no way is it better than the Holy Grail but it does capture the Middle Ages in a more realistic way. The film looked dirty as if covered in a layer of grime. Even the King wasn't elegant which was as he would have truthfully been. This film shows how dirty and even disgusting the time period was. Unlike other films where it seems capped teeth and washing machines were available 5 centuries ago. The film is as strange but not funny. Most of the jokes fall thru and the bathroom humor is too prominent. I wouldn't call this film a waste of time but would rather enjoy the medieval fantasies of Holy Grail for the 100th time than watch this one again.6.5/10
